A couple of days off

I was at the barn today after giving Blu a couple of days off -- I was traveling and he had shock wave done on his back and left front foot on Wednesday which required a day of rest. Dr. Liz is pleased with his progress and is not sure if his ongoing discomfort is coming from his back or his left front. This is a long slow process for sure! The heart bar shoes have helped tremendously and overall he is much more comfortable. The farrier will be back on the 11th and we will see what happens at that time.

So I rode him for 30 minutes today -- 5 minutes of trot in each direction and 20 minutes of walking. Going to the right at trot was super but he is still struggling a bit going to the left. So instead of doing the full ring I would walk him on the short sides. I will see if I can go for more trot tomorrow.

The boy got a shower and some hand grazing then back out to his pals. He is quite social with all the other horses. He and his other gray pal Windjammer were having quite the conversation! If only I could understand what they are saying...
